Artist Statement

My studio practice is rooted in investigating the dichotomy between matriarchal and patriarchal space. I am inspired equally by natural and fabricated landscapes as well as the space and tension where they meet. Using pen, gouache, carving techniques, found objects, and beadwork these works are made ceremonially to serve as a place of respite and retreat for both viewer and artist to find comfort in an otherwise uncomfortable world.

Being self-taught I have been heavily influenced by contemporary artists and culture creators in my community and beyond. Some of these artists include Tavares Strachan, Jeffrey Gibson, and Satpreet Kahlon.
